Disaster averted. Anderson gets through. The guy has guts to recover from so many missed opportunities, and lots of players have a letdown after taking out a top player.

 

 

 

Wimbledon needs to get with the program.

I would love to see Justin Gimbelstob face right now.....hahahahaha. He was so smug during the whole match and coaching John again with no warnings at all. Telling him to swing out and motioning other things to him. The winner of Nadal vs Joker will win Wimbledon. Anderson has to be out of gas. He'll only make an appearance on Sunday. I doubt he would have any chance after this match and the Roger one. And John Isner.....LOL...had the easiest draw ever at Wimbledon and couldn't even make the finals.......he's finished!! It will take him a long time to recover for the hard court season and he has so many points do defend right after Wimbledon.

The way Joker and Nadal are hitting - the men's final (I'll call it now) will be a snoozer.  The other semi was a yawner.  2 tall guys serving the ball.  Whoever wins this other semi will run Anderson around like a Golden Retriever and both are better returners.  He might have gotten through Federer, but I think Joker or Nadal will hit him off the court.  If the point starts, it will be over. 

I've said for years if it gets to 10-10 in the last set, you go to tie break.  Each player will have served 4 more times, received 4 more times and you had the opportunity to do something.  End it.

    • What consequences are there to suffer? He didnt commit any crime and everyone already hates him. If anything this will set back the progress he's made with Naomi
    • Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.
    • Danny: Don't drink it. Just hold it. Rocco drinks three laced cups.

    • OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too. 
    • I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.
    • It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.' 
    • And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.
    • @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

    • Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.  
    • I figured the "long" was already implied
